So much for being decidedly chirpy about the warm sunny weather we have been enjoying recently - this weekend we have seen the biggest singular snow dump that we have had here all winter...and it's still snowing...and it's set to continue. We haven't made it out of the village all weekend - we can't even get the car out of the drive and even if we could, the snow plough which has cleared the main road next
to our house has dumped several feet of snow at the end of our road. Thanks for that! As our fridge is looking worryingly empty at the moment (apart from some beers!) I decided to brave the elements along with Ben & Olivia and walk to our local shop. As nice as it was to get out of the house, I think we looked like something out of a Ranulph Fiennes documentary with all our snow kit on, our heads tucked in as far as possible whilst walking in a single file! My biggest regret was
that we were not wearing our ski goggles, which would have been very useful given the blizzard we hit once we got out of the shelter of the houses! Our plan for this weekend was to head up to The Rockies again but after my last experiece of getting caught in a blizzard with Mum in January, we decided to stay here. Good decision! So Ben is upstairs now praying that School will be closed tomorrow, studious Olivia will be most upset if it is and Charles I don't think is fussed either way!
